Abstract

Saez and Zucman's book on the triumph of injustice is of great interest. First, because it presents complex and sometimes even secret statistical analyses that they have managed to collect and organize in a rigorous way for the United States. Secondly, it highlights the increase in inequality due to tax evasion and optimization. Finally, they show the unjustified nature of these differences in income and wealth, which they consider to be a serious threat to democracy. Proposals, mainly tax and international law proposals are put forward that are relatively simple and redress the greatest injustices. Heavily indebted states suffer from the willingness of large multinational firms to evade taxes, with the risk of a dominant oligarchy establishing a plutocracy. It must be added that the system of economic crises leads to the rise of a fundamental violence that can call into question all the collective values that form the basis of a nation and an economic system.
